Brasserie des Grottes

Just a few kilometres from Melun, La Brasserie des Grottes offers an original escape for lovers of local products. Located in Boissise-la-Bertrand, this craft brewery stands out for its exceptional setting: a real cave dug into the hillside, on the banks of the Seine. This unusual, history-filled location gives every visit a unique atmosphere. The naturally stable temperature of the site, around 11°C all year round, provides an ideal environment for brewing and storing craft beers.

Local beers brewed in underground heritage

Driven by the desire to produce beers with character using quality ingredients, the brewery’s founders chose to showcase artisanal know-how with respect for the environment. Behind the vats lies a genuine passion for flavours and local products. Each brew reveals the identity of the Seine-et-Marne area through creative and authentic recipes.

The visit is also an opportunity to discover the fascinating history of this former Champigny limestone quarry. Dug using the “turned pillars” technique, it features remarkable underground architecture, visible from the impressive entrance to the cave. Between industrial heritage and craft production, the site tells a little-known chapter of local history.

After discovering the facilities, it is time for a tasting. Enjoy the brewery’s latest creations in a friendly atmosphere before leaving with a few bottles as souvenirs. An original stop for curious visitors, craft beer enthusiasts or walkers looking for authentic experiences along the banks of the Seine. Blending local flavour, heritage and conviviality, La Brasserie des Grottes adds sparkle to the discovery of southern Île-de-France.
